Trump just confirmed he'll sign an executive order banning states from regulating AI.

It's a huge victory for Big Tech, which has spent millions lobbying to stop guardrails against AI. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=lA7bwZgq-9DYkij5

The chief horror is the rewriting of the human rights gains we've made since WWII to frame only 'contributing' migrants (whether asylum seekers or not) as worthy of life & safety.

But I'm also here to call BS on the 'Britain welcomes high-skilled migrants' thing. I do not feel welcome here.
This is so disgusting.

Is this tech fascism?

Why have so many corporations lined up to donate to Trump’s ballroom project?

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.

Why has this disappeared from the headlines?

The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Lib Dem MP Luke Taylor on calls from Reform & Rupert Lowe to not lock people up for social media posts (except people calling for *them* to be hurt, it seems):

Lowe "has earned over £40k from Twitter since his election" - he is "incentivised" to defend people’s right to incite hate for clicks.

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

🧵On Nov. 18th, South Carolina will hear S.B. 323. If passed, S.B. 323 will create a total abortion ban. This ban attacks our free speech, bodily autonomy, privacy, and ability to support our communities in making their own healthcare decisions.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

America has normalized secret police and internal terror operations, the construction of concentration camps, the destruction of the federal government and the de facto dissolving of Congress and it has done so without missing a beat. Coming back from where we are today will take decades.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

In theory the press are there to create an informed electorate who can then use their votes to move their government in a healthy direction. In practice the press are there to keep the public too ignorant, propagandized and distracted to meddle in the workings of the imperial machine.
